Preliminary results from this month's 24-hour giving days in Idaho, Montana and Washington report that donors gave more than $21.4 million to a range of nonprofits across our region.

Final numbers won't be available for a few more weeks, as organizers confirm payments, matching funds, credit card fees and other complex calculations.

The current estimate falls below last year's May giving day totals — which raised about $25.4 million for nonprofits in Idaho, Montana and Washington, despite a national website crash that delayed and discouraged donors — but above the $19 million raised in 2015. This year, community foundations and nonprofit centers opted to hold their campaigns on separate dates and use different online platforms, to avoid overloading a central system; some participating nonprofits also decided to focus their donor outreach efforts on their own fundraising initiatives at other times of the year.
